Last year we had some reorganization in our eventing team. Hanna Kihl left us and Malin Hammar, 21, (made by Paige Price) joined the team. Malin is an experienced eventer despite her age, she was very successful during her time as pony rider with several Swedish Championship medals and some competitions abroad in the national team. She has during the winter had time to get to know Kodak W and Colina L, the two horses she will compete for Hesterfield.

Kodak W is a noble stallion with a heart of gold. He's been with us since he was 3 years old so the long time staff has had the pleasure to get to know him quite well now. He is always the one reminding the staff when it is time for food, his whinnies echoes between the buildings if he isn't served his grain right on time.

Out on the cross country course Kodak need a rider he can trust as he may be somewhat anxious in new situations. But once you've gained his trust, he is as brave as you are...

Here's a snap from the winter training. Kodak has been doing much work with bounces to make him quicker. He gets a bit too excited, trying to take two bounces in one jump, silly.

Merida, I love you. This is just my cup of tea Not only is the presentation excellent and what a fantastic way of displaying the different horses' disciplines, but the whole feel to it is just up my alley. Bring me more to drool at, Kodak's pretty pictures has only got me started

Your pics of Kodak, especially the profile one with blueish glow behind him - it suits him so well! and I also have noticed same way in my own Killian baby, that she don't have patience sometimes to actually do what she wants her to do

btw - where did you find these cavaletti stands? those white sugarbits ones?

Every time I see your pictures I want to hide somewhere in the corned and stay there, because they are just waaay to gorgeous. I love the details you add, the presentation, the angle, the editing - argh, just give me your skills

Ugh Merida you've done it again! Your editing is some of the best in the community. I love the layout and style of your presentation! It took me a moment to realize that the horses were separated by discipline Kodak is such an elegant boy! I love how rich and dark his coat is. I can't wait to see more!

Merida have mercy upon me ... I'll go into hiding with @Daria-Burtseva , lol! Seriously though, your editing is absolutely flawless and I want to cry everytime you upload a picture. And teach me how to draw eyes like that
